Crimson Dawn

27 chapter

You Gou's brother made such a fuss, and after they were "sent out", the comrades looked at You Gou sitting helplessly on the stool with his head down, and for a moment they didn't know how to comfort You Gou.After this incident came out, in fact, it was no longer comforting You Gou.You Gou also had to give an explanation to the party members first.But this matter involved both the party and Yougou's family.Which is more important, no one can make a conclusion.It is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, which in itself is a very troublesome thing.

Not only You Gou, Qi Huishen also noticed that the eyes of other comrades fell on him from time to time.Of course Yougou's family was involved, and Qi Huishen's family was also involved without exception.Qi Huishen was very busy during this period, and he didn't discuss in depth about his father Qi Si'e's views on special medicines.Occasionally asked a few times, his father just smiled inscrutablely, and asked with the attitude of a teacher examining a student, "How are you going to solve this problem." Qi Huishen is very familiar with this attitude, Qi Si Emei wanted to teach Qi Hui This is what I say when I go deeper into the secrets of doing business.In the past, Qi Huishen would always run away, and this time was no exception.If you can delay the apportionment with your father for one day, the showdown will be one day later.As a son, he felt that his father was not so easy to deal with.

But what You Jia Brothers said obviously involved Qi Si'e.While Qi Huishen was busy with his own affairs, Qi Si'e should have taken action.Qi Huishen searched desperately for the past events about his father's business in his memory, hoping to find a way of thinking that would help solve the current situation.

"A meeting." Chen Ke proposed.

Hearing this, the comrades moved up stools and sat around the big table in the experiment.

"Let's continue discussing the topic just now, and I will report the lecture." To everyone's surprise, Chen Ke's motion order did not address emergencies.

don't want! You Gou lowered his head and said, "Let's clarify this matter about my brother first." "

"Everyone is here, and they all heard it. Didn't your brother make it very clear?" Chen Ke replied.

"What did he say clearly?" You Gou's voice was low, a bit like a feline growling in anger.

"He wants you to go back, and he told me clearly that he wants you to open a shop and treat yourself."

"And then? He finished speaking, and everyone just listened?"

"Let's discuss this issue later, how about it? There are rules in meetings. You Gou, as a party member, you have to abide by the party's discipline. The meeting has a meeting charter, and we all have to abide by it." Chen Ke calmly pointed out the facts.This is not only Chen Ke's playing hard to get, but it is not Chen Ke's little trick.Historically, the party relied on iron-like discipline to overwhelm all enemies.As the founder of the People's Party, Chen Ke himself must not destroy the party's discipline.Moreover, the incident that Yougou encountered was not a problem of Yougou alone, but a problem of the party involved.If you can't restrain everyone's emotions back to the track of discipline now, the subsequent discussions are very likely to get out of control.Chen Ke was also very concerned about this point.

You Gou looked up at Chen Ke, there was no emotion on Chen Ke's face, he was completely business-like.Such composure made You Gou suddenly feel a kind of resentment towards Chen Ke.If Chen Ke expressed comfort or even dissatisfaction at this time, it would ease You Gou's mood.But it was Chen Ke's calmness that made You Gou feel very uncomfortable.

I looked at the others again, and everyone was either concerned or just bowed their heads and sighed.But no one wanted to support Yougou.You Gou turned his head and asked Qi Huishen, "If I want to join my agenda, what did the previous charter say."

Qihui thought about it for a while, but asked He Zudao with an apologetic smile, "Zudao. I'm a little confused at the moment, how is the matter on that topic stipulated. Help me see."

He Zudao quickly flipped to the previous record, and then read, "The temporary agenda needs to be advanced, and the party members must be notified first. Only if two-thirds of the participating members agree, can it be started early."

"Then let's vote." You Gou said immediately after hearing this.

Chen Ke nodded. There are currently eight members participating in the meeting, Chen Ke, Qi Huishen, Chen Tianhua, Hua Xiongmao, You Gou, Zhou Yuanxiao, He Zudao, and Qin Wuan.In other words, You Gou must get the consent of the six members before she can discuss as she wishes.

Only You Gou and He Zudao voted for it.

You Gou's eyes were shining, she scanned the other comrades seriously, and kept her mouth tightly shut.

"The course of the lecture is going well. In particular, the course that Yougou is currently conducting has received an excellent response. We pay tribute to Comrade Yougou who has worked so hard." After Chen Ke finished speaking, he began to applaud.All comrades except You Gou, including Zhou Yuanxiao, expressed their sincere respect.This is not perfunctory. There are now more than 340 parents who just signed up.And there are more parents who want to go to the school to contact them.Now that the school has not yet built a campus, Qi Huishen had to say that he would announce the school site in the next few days.Before the big lecture, everyone including Chen Ke did not expect such a result.

You Gou was still sullen at first, but with the applause, her face became more and more relaxed, and finally You Gou covered her mouth with tears rolling down her face.

Chen Tianhua was quite moved when he saw all this.Chen Ke's revolution is so different, so Chen Tianhua himself is quite curious about it.The revolution Chen Tianhua participated in was either a revolution of the gentry, a group of wealthy people planning the path of armed revolution.Kill this, kill that.Either it is the revolution promoted by the overseas students in Japan, the resentment full of resentment, and the passion to be able to participate in a movement is really very high.However, there is a kind of fanaticism and indescribable decadence in the boiling emotions.Anyway, anyone who refuses to cling to their attitude is a bad person.Especially for international students, it is clearly divided into two factions.

Chen Tianhua has a passionate personality, and he really felt a great sense of exaltation during this kind of exercise.But as time went by, he became a little confused.Why can't the revolution always convince those Chen Tianhua likes very much.And why are there so many bad habits among the revolutionaries that Chen Tianhua cannot accept.This made Chen Tianhua very confused, even a little painful.

It's not long here, but what Chen Tianhua saw was an organization full of vigor and vigor, and an organization full of human touch.There was no resentment, no anger, and no surly spirit characteristic of the revolutionaries around Chen Tianhua.Every time Chen Tianhua thought of the revolutionary program put forward by Chen Ke, he felt a sense of shock, but when he came into contact with these people, there was a kind of harmony and warmth that can only be found when getting along with friends sincerely.Everything here is meaningful, frank and sincere, and well-organized.Chen Ke maintains order, and comrades abide by order. This is the revolution Chen Tianhua expects.

While sighing secretly, I heard Chen Ke continue to say: "Next, I have a few requests. First, do you know anyone who is familiar with the history of 24. At least I want them to read some materials. They To be able to find the corresponding content. I need three assistants."

This requirement is relatively high, and it is also somewhat inexplicable.Chen Ke didn't want to sell any boring gourds, "I wrote the manuscript with Xingtai, and the progress was slower than I thought. Especially in terms of data collection. Now I need a few people who can help me find information. Xingtai Bowen Qiangji , I really got it this time. The star station remembered all the information I was looking for. Because of this, I thought I would just write briefly. Now I have changed my mind."

"Huh?" After hearing this, Chen Tianhua was even more surprised.Chen Tianhua was in charge of revising Chen Ke's manuscript. Its content is detailed and involved in a wide range, which Chen Tianhua has never seen before.Even the great Confucianism that Chen Tianhua has met, only knows part of it.Chen Tianhua has already immersed himself in the work of writing this masterpiece.Unexpectedly, Chen Ke actually called these "brief writing", but he didn't know how Chen Ke planned to "seriously write".

"To tell you the truth, my own definition is to treat this article as our initial publicity document in the future, so that ordinary people can understand it. But looking at it now, once this manuscript is published, the scope of influence may be wider than I thought. Big. Different ideas, competing with us, this is for sure. However, if there are some low-level mistakes in it, it would be ridiculous. I must avoid this kind of thing. Is there anyone in this regard."

"I know a few young scholars, but they are so sour. I don't know if it will work if I just look for historical records." Hua Xiongmao said.

"Since it's so sour, there's no need for it. When we hire people, we must use people like our own comrades. What do you think?" Chen Ke said with a smile.

"Like our comrades? To be honest, it's hard to find." Hua Xiongmao also laughed.

"The biggest advantage of our comrades is that they are willing to work. Just find someone who is willing to work."

"Then how about finding some children?"

"As long as you are willing to work. By the way, we also put up posters, and there are not too few people who can look up information these days. The imperial examinations are about to be abolished in the Qing Dynasty, and it is difficult for these talented people to find a living."

"Okay, Huishen and I will print some posters." Hua Xiongmao felt that this method was feasible.

"Then let's move on to the next topic, about this special medicine." Chen Ke said naturally.

Everyone felt that the matter of the specific medicine was a major event, involving two senior comrades in the party.Once the discussion starts, it will definitely not be very peaceful.That's why everyone didn't vote for it just now.He Zudao felt that You Gou was being bullied by his elder brother, and he himself had the same experience, and felt that You Gou should be made to complain, so he supported You Gou.It can be understood from the look of embarrassment on his face.Although everyone didn't mean to blame He Zudao, but ever since He Zudao saw that he was the only one who supported You Gou and no one else supported him, he felt that he had done something terribly wrong. .

As a result, Chen Ke announced to discuss the matter so calmly, everyone was surprised.

"This matter is not a battle of loyalty. For our comrades in the party, it is another matter." Chen Ke said with a smile, "So let's not think that this matter is a big one. It is actually not a big thing. I will report to you a little about the special medicine.”

Chen Ke took out a small notebook that he carried with him, found a page in it, and then began to tell a simple story.Up to now, more than 670 patients have been treated, and the income of various currencies is converted into silver, with a net income of more than 1000 taels of silver.After talking about this, Chen Ke put the notebook back in his pocket, and looked at the comrades with a smile.

Everyone knew that this special drug would definitely have a lot of benefits, but they didn't expect such a big profit. More than 2 taels of silver is by no means a small amount of money in China today.Hua Xiongmao, who joined at the earliest, knew that Chen Ke started with 50 taels of silver, and those who came a little later, such as Yougou, knew very well that when Chen Ke first started pharmacy, his capital was less than 800 taels.Now he has earned so much.

"Now everyone knows why Yougou's brother is so rude?" Chen Ke laughed.

All nods.No one can keep calm in the face of such profits.

"My thoughts on this matter are as follows. The ownership of the money is unknown now. I'm not talking about He Yougou's brothers, or He Qi Huishen's father. I want to say two things. First, How should this money be calculated within the party. Let’s clarify this first.”

No one said anything now, not even You Gou who insisted on speaking just now.

Chen Ke looked around, You Gou and Qi Huishen looked hesitant and hesitated to speak.The same is true including Hua Xiongmao.Zhou Yuanxiao pursed his lips tightly, as if making up his mind.Chen Tianhua and He Zudao looked a little confused.Qin Wuan, on the other hand, looked calm, just ready to listen to what everyone had to say.

Chen Ke bent his left arm upwards, touched his chin with the thumb and index finger of his left hand, and bent his right arm sideways, placing his right hand inside the crook of his left arm.After waiting for a while, he said with a smile: "The money is in hand, and everyone is embarrassed to talk about the money?"

Still no one spoke.Chen Tianhua looked at the crowd and felt an inexplicable sense of disobedience.It's really something he has never seen before that the revolution is so revolutionary that it can earn money and distribute it.

Chen Ke waited for his comrades to speak with anticipation and anxiety, although his face looked relaxed.But to be honest, Chen Ke's inner torment was far more intense than he thought.Comrades have every reason to share the money from selling medicine, at least this money.This is not only because of things that were not discussed clearly at the beginning, but more importantly, everyone's hard work should be rewarded.

However, once this hole is opened, will there be a next time?Revolutions require money, and revolutions also require dedication.But Chen Ke couldn't refuse comrades, and he absolutely couldn't refuse this time.

Maybe I'm just overthinking it myself.In the history of the revolution, the party has never made so much money, and the party's funds are all donated by comrades.Later, after the party's operation was on track, only party members paid party dues, but there was no such thing as party members sharing money.Chen Ke knew this, but he himself did not think that comrades should be rejected.Such contradictory thoughts were reversed like this, and Chen Ke covered them up with a smile.But a thought can't be concealed anyway. "Did I make a mistake?"

Chen Ke himself has "revolutionary awareness", and his life is not extravagant at all.Until now, except for a few work clothes, Chen Ke didn't buy anything for himself.But the current political party may still have the nature of a commercial enterprise. Since it is a commercial enterprise, there is no reason to refuse to distribute money.

After what felt like a long time, Qi Huishen finally said, "That's it. Let's fix a salary. However, this money should be the party's funds. We can't divide it ourselves. We will divide this now, and other Comrades are eligible to share the projects they participated in. This can’t be opened.”

Although Chen Ke pretended to be calm, he still couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

All comrades agree.Hua Xiongmao said with a smile: "Wen Qing, you have contributed the most here, and we all know that you don't want money. You don't want to take a penny, so naturally we can't take money."

"For the revolution, we all work together." Chen Ke said.

The result of the vote is that each person will be paid 10 taels of silver per month.Chen Ke proposed the concept of party dues, and all comrades agreed.Finally, it is set at 10%, which will be deducted directly when paying wages.

Subsequently, the party organization made regulations, except for the arrangement of the party organization, all party members are not allowed to operate their own property without permission.Must obey the party's arrangements.All additional income must be reported.

The passage of these regulations went smoothly beyond Chen Ke's expectations.But Chen Ke didn't want to find fault.Now that comrades have this awareness, it is not yet at the level of political review.

"Then the second question is about the special medicine. My suggestion is that at the end of this big lecture, we will disclose the final formula. However, we will not announce the synthesis process. What is disclosed is the formula of 606. Let me explain first, What we produce is 914. As for the detailed difference, I won’t talk about it. The general difference is that 606 is more toxic and has a higher mortality rate. But the drug effect is stronger than 914.”

This suggestion really shocked everyone.No one thought that Chen Ke's solution would be like this.

"Why do you want to do this?" You Gou was very puzzled.

"First, we don't have the armed forces to defend our own interests. Second, relying on the Manchu Qing is not reliable. Relying on the British is not reliable either. Relying on compradors is not reliable."

"Looting by force. This is indeed unavoidable." Qi Hui sighed deeply.

"So many compradors have signed contracts with the British, and this is not the case." You Gou asked.

"That's because they let the British earn money, and what we earn now is British money. They won't let us go." Qi Huishen said helplessly.

"Then do it according to the current situation, isn't it good? Why don't you still make money?" You Gou was still unconvinced.

"That's because you don't know how many people are planning on us. It's just that those people can't figure out our details now and dare not do anything. Some of my friends have already advised me, and now people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been inquiring about us. You think your brother is making trouble with you, but they are already very polite."

You Gou knew that Hua Xiongmao was not lying, but she was very upset that her hard work was wasted like this. "Foreign joint-stock companies are doing well, but why are they not doing well in China?"

"Then revolution. According to what Wen Qing said, build a new world. At that time, you can be as fair as you want." Hua Xiongmao laughed.

Only then did Chen Ke understand why Hua Xiongmao was so supportive of his party property issue.It seems that the situation outside has reached a rather unfavorable level.

"Human nature is like this. I can't see you making money, and I can't see you getting rich. There is no way to do it." Chen Ke persuaded.

"But, but..." You Gou was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"However, we must believe in the kindness of human nature. As long as the prescription is made public, at least we have saved their lives, and at least they will not take our lives. We hold other people's lives in our hands, and they will fight with us no matter what. Desperately. And since we have given up seeking profit, it is better not to make a big fanfare to gain a reputation. Instead of waiting for those people to steal it, we should teach it honestly and let it go."

You Gou thought about it, but was still not convinced.

Chen Ke said with a smile: "If you look at it from another angle, once it is made public, everyone will know that it is the drug we invented. As long as the price is reasonable, they will definitely come to us to buy it. And more people buy it, so it may not be true that they will earn less. Money isn't it?"

"If the foreign devil imitates it, don't we have to drink the northwest wind?" You Gou was still dissatisfied.

"You have participated in the pharmaceutical industry anyway, if we don't disclose the process. They finished it so easily? It takes time for them to finish it. During this period, the foreign devils will not do anything to us. When they finish, we will also Make enough money. And at that time, we will go to build bases. They can't find us even if they want to find us."

Hearing this, You Gou had no choice but to temporarily give up his doubts.

Seeing that everyone has nothing to say, Chen Ke said, "Then the wages will be paid tomorrow. The meeting is adjourned now."
